Well I know I talked about doing all work this summer, but Ashley talked me into taking a vacation and we both really need it. As I always say it is good to take a break and just relax. Now this trip won’t be a total relax trip as the hotel we are staying at does have WiFi and I will be updating my sites as well as updating you guys on my trip.

Ashley and I have decided on Florida because it’s only a 2 hour flight and it’s not super expensive. We will be staying at the Sirata Beach Resort (pictured above) that is right on the water. Both of us have never been to Florida so it will be quite an experience. We will be leaving July 7th and staying till the 14th. I am really looking forward to the trip. Hopefully there are no problems at airport security. There is always something of mine that they need to hand search.

    Hey Bob, didn’t know you were into blogging as well!

    I know you’re one of the premier engine testers for the new TTZ ad engine I’m coding these days. The recent “sluggishness” has been resolved – I’m currently ironing out the view tracker module to optimize for server load and also make it more accurate.

    Anyhow just wanted to say hi and thanks, and also sorry for the engine being out of commission for a while recently haha.

    Cheers mate! And have fun on your vacation.

    Hi Bob. Sounds great, I just got back from a vacation — thought the place I was going had wifi, then found out when I got there they did not. Oh well, was a nice break without it. Have a great time.

    Florida is nice… but keep in mind that in the summer months are by far the worst months to visit Florida, unless the heat doesn’t bother you. i recently took a trip to Sarasota, Fl and decided to go fishin early… at 5am the heat was already creeping in @ a humid 84 degrees.

    It gets hot… but the resort looks great and you’re on the beach so you’ll enjoy your time…

    Try to relax as much as you can… I didn’t both taking one last year, and I’m desperately awaiting this year’s in the middle of July =D

    I see you’re going to be around Tampa. See if you can take the ferry to KeyWest. Stay overnight. It’s great and you can walk everywhere.

    Hopefully your ass is not what they have to hand search :(

    Coming down to my neck of the woods! Don’t listen to these guys about Hurricanes. That’s something the media just overhypes. St. Pete is an awesome place to visit. The gulf is like 82 degrees and crystal clear. There are no waves though, so I hope you didn’t plan to take surf lessons.

    Be sure to rent a couple jet skis if you haven’t done that before. And charter a deep sea fishing trip. You’ll have fun, but really spend some cash as they run like $500 for 4-6 hours.

    I need a vacation! I am hoping to be taking a cruise later this year.
    Why haven’t you ever been to Florida? That is one the biggest vacation destinations ever!

    Sweet, a vacation. I would love to take a break from my schedule. I just got done with finals on Friday for UCSB, and now taking summer school from 9:00-1:00 everyday and working night shifts.

    I went to Florida 7 years ago? I’m not quite sure, but I remember having a week pass to Disney World, MGM Studios, plus going to this pier, and another pier where some clubs and nice restaurants were. It was pretty fun.

    Bob,

    That place is about 45 minutes from my house, and it’s gorgeous. Shoot me an e-mail if you want to meet up while you guys are down. It’d be cool to meet a fellow blogger. Plus, the little lady always asks me to take her down there for dinner/beach/etc.

    So funny to watch you Americans :) US is so big so you go to a place on US. When we go on vacation we go to different countries to see new cultures etc :)

    Have fun though :)
